Professional feline-care organization

More accountable than a casual drop-in. More connected than a gig assignment.

Cats in the City brings an established feline-only organization into the home: trained caregivers, client records, insurance, management, backup planning, medication capability, and connected grooming, boarding, transport, and transition services.

Professional care is a system.The individual sitter matters, but so do training, scheduling, records, backups, communication, insurance, escalation, and management.
What distinguishes the model

The care is built around cats and supported by an organization.

Cats in the City has provided feline-only services since 2006, creating experience across home care, grooming, boarding, medication, behavior, seniors, medical complexity, transport, rescue, and transition support.

ONLY

Feline-only specialization

Care methods, observation, communication, and service design are built around cats rather than adapted from a mixed-species model.

INSURE

Bonded and insured

The service is provided through a professional company with organizational accountability for entering the home and caring for the cats.

RECORD

Structured client profiles

Household access, cat baselines, medication, veterinarians, instructions, communications, and repeat-care information remain organized.

BACKUP

Management and backup

Scheduling, illness, weather, key access, emergency questions, and service changes are supported beyond one independent individual.

MEDS

Medication capability

Approved oral, topical, eye, injectable, and fluid procedures can be considered within a defined care plan and fee structure.

LINK

Connected feline care

Home care can connect with grooming, boarding, transport, complex care, rescue, rehabilitation, and veterinary resources.

Communication with substance

Updates should tell you how the cat is functioning.

Photos are valuable, but they are most useful when paired with meaningful information about food, litter, medication, location, demeanor, mobility, play, home conditions, and changes from baseline.

The sitter can identify when the original request is no longer the whole problem.

Declining grooming, matting, appetite loss, medication failure, litter changes, mobility loss, unsafe housing, or caregiver strain may require another part of the Cats in the City and Portland Cat Care network.
